Chapter 305 “Leave you your life” (Part one)
The horses in the Duke's otiated with the prairie prince for coood number of slaves and horses as promised in the deal And as a show of respect, the prince also selected a couple of the finest prairie steeds for Du Wei hi so the gate had just opened with crowds of citizens lining in wait to leave the city for business As a boss, White River couldn't care less about the rules To this peerlessthat hinders his path, soldiers or non-living entities, he only needs one palm strike to squash theate sa careless White River was galloping over, totally disregarding the safety of the pedestrians, these guards iathered around with their swords drawn in an attempt to stop the intruder at the intersection But as a eccentric personal, White River couldn't care less and didn't make any efforts to stop or to slon
Luckily these horses are well trained Watching the soldiers in front, the horses themselves reduced speed and eventually came to halt of their own voalition
“Who dares to clash with the gates of the imperial city, do you not want to live? Hurry and state your name!!” A junior officer loudly shouts this demand Towards these lowly mortals, White River didn't even want to waste his words, let alone lift a finger
Du Wei, who's not far behind, would of course not dare let this Sha to kick his horse's belly to pick up speed, it only took a few seconds for hi his steed to a stop in front of the soldiers, he shouts: “I aent et out of the way!”
Du Wei's reputation in the capital was immensely popular, ouldn't know his nanized his face so the guy immediately came forith a face full of smiles: “So it's your lordshi+p, is this also your companion?”
Du Wei's face turned dark: “Quit it with the nonsense Hurry and get out of the way, otherwise all your heads wouldn't be enough to pay the price”
As if a lowly officer like this guy would dare offend Du Wei Hurrying to open a line in the crowd, this officer orders the gate to be widened enough to allow Du Wei and White River passage first
The pedestrians on the side would naturally be discontent over this treatle word and lead the way out the gate without batting an eyelash
“What an arrogant guy I've seen h circle before, but even the nobles and royal farumbles to himself
“So lared at the yapperhim in the process
His words old coins out from his pocket as he passed by: “This is a reward for you to buy some drinks, from noatch what you say”
At that, Du Wei hi to the balls officer at the gate: “Duke is the greatest, knowing the pains we guards go through!”
Just as the officer wanted to say soone
In this situation, Du Wei didn't have room to care about the eoes on a ra can stop him!
Their travel speed can't be called a thousandthe quality of these fine steeds In just a few hours where the sun had just risen overhead, their distance from the imperial capital was very far already as they headed in the Northwest direction Further ahead, a s a closer look, Du Wei knew then where they were at
This wasn't any special place, it's the very sa Horse Hill”, or later rena of this place, its rather quite famous This was the very same place Du Wei first met with that Green Hat and the place where Du Wei found little Vivian starving to death at night
And before that, through his conversation with QQ, Du Wei learned this place was in fact the very sa the miracle of the Goddess
It's just that, the Temple's Canon may have records about the incident, but it never once named this “Brokeback Mountain” as the location
Perhaps it's purpose was to protect this miraculous mountain Otherwise, if everyone in the public knew of this fact, then the swar to this area, likely destroying it in the process If that does happen, it be no different fro into the town's outer premise, Du Wei kicked his horse to match White River's speed With a smile: “I say Mr White, the day's not early anyet so speaks in a emotionless tone: “Oh? Are you that impatient that you will try to pull a stunt now? This place is still very close to the iht you would at least wait until we reach the next city before trying to flee”
Du Wei silently cursed inside, but his face can only make the sincerest look he can co Mr White, you are the world's nuames? Even if I try, does it look like I can be yourwith ician and could go without sleep for a night, but ordinary people still needs to eat After drinking all night and then being called to witness your fight with Mr Blue Ocean this rain inthis, White River first frowned before breaking out into a laugh: “A person like you is too interesting, to think you can co a captive”
As if not in the slightest bit afraid of this guy, Du Wei s westbound to the northwest corridor will require no less than seven to eight days if we're fast, ten if we're slow After that there's still the desert to cross, then the grassland, and then finally the Snowy Mountain to climb With my calculation, it will take no less than a month to reach our destination, why rush? It's not like you don't have time I heard from Blue Ocean you have threethe last part, White River's eye instantly revealed a wisp of coldness, causing Du Wei's body to tre his head to remove the discomfort, Du Wei continues with a forceful set a chance to coo back? Let's take soo travel, it's also a form of entertain Du Wei up and down, White River suddenly ”
Finishi+ng his words, White River suddenly raised a hand and gently pressed down at his horse's backbone! To be suddenly hit with a mountains sized pressure on its back, the horse suddenly issued out a long screa speed Then without another step forward, all four hooves of the horse stopped on the spot, unable to move an inch!
Du Wei didn't have the sa his horse to a slow stop, Du Wei looks further ahead and said: “The town up there should have soo and see”
Then the two dismounted and sloalked towards this town under the “Brokeback Mountain”
The toasn't far frolance After entering, the biggest building in sight would of course be the chapel belonging to the Teht was at the zenith of its influence, leaving its mark everywhere across the continent with its chapels and cathedrals
This small town in particular was especially special because it was here that Mayuba, the first Pope of the Teh the name of the location was concealed from public eye, but the internal structure of the Temple would of course know this fact Therefore, the branch in this toas much different from the rest!
Due to its close proxiymen here are directly appointed by the main cathedral where the Pope resides And because of that reason, though they are only known as regular officials in the Te the elites, there are no weaklings here in this town
As luck would have it, Du Wei and White River ca for today was one of the two annual worshi+pping cere by the chapel of the town, the streets outside were bustling with people, looking lively as ever For this worshi+pping cerey inside the chapel would be required to wear a whole set of religious robes to preside over the event By opening its door to the public, all believers are permitted on this day to enter the house of the Goddess to worshi+p her statue while at the sas of the Temple
In addition, several boxes would be placed in front of the chapel door because this worshi+pping cere of the temple's tax collection date
For this reason, all of the nearby faithful believes would gather at the chapel on this day to pay their religious taxes For some that's more of a devout follower, these brainwashed fellas would contribute extra taxes on the side
Unlike regular tax collection agencies in other sarrison to uarded by the Teiainst the rules, but whenever the date comes around, the cathedral in the capital would find sohts to this s of this place
Du Wei and White River was freely walking around the area when the auspicious hour was here Ringing the giant bell hanging in the chapel's tower, the overcrowded followers beganwith priests preaching at the doorway
And outside the hts in their silvery ar sound of the bell Facing the direction of the religious crowd, they raised one hand to their chest in an awe-inspiring salute
It didn't end there Next to the tax boxes near the doorway, several clergies were busily accepting the taxes of the followers like their hands couldn't even keep up
Watching this scene, White River's face immediately revealed a hint of disdain: “Humph, only you Roland people would believe these stupid Gods”
Hearing that co a retort because he's also one of those Roland people: “Over at the prairie, I believe there isn't a lack of believers of the Snowy Mountain a his head, “This is different frorassland believes in the Snowy Mountain, that's true, but we never levy a single penny from the people of the prairie! The iron rule of the Snowy Mountain, whenever a shaman descends into the mortal world, they are not permitted to receive any benefits from the people Otherwise, they will receive severe punishment if found out! What our shamans drink is water What our shaes or horses, it's our oo feet's! When roa the prairie, even if a herdsoat's milk, wedifficulty with their livestock, like sickness and such, our shaed to take the initiative to help they over at the clergies standing at the chapel, which of the? The hard-earned ious worain: “If the Gods love the people, be kind to the people, then there's no wrong in respecting theht you Roland people worshi+p, what ounce of benefit did she give your people? What kindness did she bestow upon her children aside fros, Du Wei can only sigh…
These religious frauds, what good have they done for their people Aside fro this piece and that piece, and singing soible good dead
Like this ti for donations from its followers… But did the te it prettily is “calling for donations”, but to say it bluntly, why didn't you yourself donate a penny?!
“That's why you Roland people are stupid” White River sneered
Seeing the change in this boss's expression, Du Wei suddenly got a bad oh, this Mr White River really was fearless when his teh Du Wei also didn't find this scenery pleasing to the eye, but he doesn't have the chips to stand up to the Temple The most he can do was to curse a few sentences in his mouth and call it a day!
One careless daze in, Du Wei was already screa White River loosening his grip on the horse, this Shaered towards the Chapel!
Shocked with every hair on his body raised, Du Wei hurriedly chases after the guy
It may be crowded in front of the chapel, but who's White River? With an unknown roups on each side, forcing a path open for hiant man came in front of the collection box
What'snext to the box re his way At first this priest was stunned by the white robe worn by White River, but after sooasn't the saician or a priest
The clergy on a pious face: “Are you also here to contribute to the Goddess? Very well, the Goddess will bless you”
At that, this fool then grabbed for one of the talismans piled atop of a nearby table to pass it to White River
As if White River would look like so the priest, he suddenly asked: “I heard that the priests in the temple know some special skills known as Divine Spells, do you know them?”
The clergyman was stupefied, but White River was done with hi out a bullet, this poor priest was immediately bloay like he's been raht into the wall of the chapel behind hi his eyes white, this priest instantly fainted away, still pinned against the crater on the wall
Several of the priests were furious over the unprovoked attack, but White River didn't want to waste ers out again like before, around seven to eight of the clergies were sent flying with heavy injuries
The scene immediately exploded with screa frenzy Losing his patience at the racket, White River iant torrent of wind ca dozens of people across the air and thus e the entire area next to White River
“Madman, how dare youcall,over to stop the assailant The ile nimble ones couldn't wait for the crowd to separate and leaped into the air to get the first strike in
S in a hts? What a pity…” Shaking his head, its unsure if White River was disappointed over their skills or for some other reason
Surrounded on all sides, White River didn't pay heed to the swords coht turn of his body with his hand raised to make a shts could feel a gust of wind blowing into their face like blades scratching at their skin! Subconsciously, sohts promptly raised their swords in front of their body to block, but for those unfortunate enough to not realize this, they were bloith heavy injuries Vohts could onlystare with their pale face before finally losing their breath
Then in the next second the only noise that could be heard was the sound of swords shattering to pieces, leaving only a handle behind in each knights hand Everyone was duht now as they looked at White River, unsure what to do next
Making a light sht of the Roland Empire? Such a disappointment”
